These games aren’t going away, just their online features.
I doubt pirate copies will bring those features back. These aren’t multiplayer games.

Just so you are aware, there are tons of active communities actively and currently maintaining live multiplayer servers for old games that had their official servers shut down. All through pirates.
Star wars galaxies and Monster Hunter Tri are two good examples. I haven’t checked galaxies in a while, but monster hunter tri just unlocked a multiplayer server that has been shut down for a decade.
If a fan community loves a game enough it’s still got an active server somewhere. Pirates are 100% bringing online features to their communities.
Also, I guess since you didn’t know, there are hundreds of video games that currently have multiplayer enabled despite no multiplayer options when the game was originally released. You are really underestimating the amount of effort random pirates will put into making a 30 year old game playable with online multiplayer. Games like Skyrim, famous for being single player, now have multiplayer options.

I’m well aware, I even play some of them. But I don’t think Dante’s Inferno will be one of those.
